Ribbon of darkness over me
Since my true love walked out the door
Tears I never had before
Ribbon of darkness over me
Clouds are gathering over my head
That kill the day and hide the sun
Enshroud the night when day is done
Ribbon of darkness over me
CHORUS:
Rain is falling on the meadow
Where once, my love and I did lie
Now, she’s gone from the meadow
‘Bye, Love, Good-bye
Ribbon of darkness over me
Where once, the world was young as Spring
